Fastboot Mode

First make sure to enable USB debugging in Android ([1])
Then with device powered off, hold down Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds, until Fastboot Mode screen appears.

OEM Unlock

Get device into Fastboot Mode, plug in USB cable, then:

$ sudo fastboot oem unlock

When prompted on device, use Volume-Up/Down buttons to highlight choice, then Power button to select it. The Fastboot Mode screen will appear again, and a message regarding flashing will appear briefly.

Issues

WiFi workaround on boot

The wifi adapter works in NetworkManager, but it boots in airplane mode and NetworkManager does not detect that. Therefore at boot you need to disable the wifi adapter first, and then re-enable it. This can easily be done in the graphic shell (Plasma Mobile has an airplane mode switch in the pull-down menu: check it and uncheck it) or through the shell:

$ nmcli radio all off
$ nmcli radio all on

Webbrowser

In plasma-mobile, Angelfish webbrowser does not run. You may want to install, configure and use qtwebbrowser, Firefox and/or Chromium.
